The Mantis is a Landing Craft, which can serve as an alternative transportation choice to the Liset. It comes with the Med-Tower air support ability, deploying a Med-Tower that can be activated to release healing pulses.
The Mantis landed in Update 17.5 (2015-10-01).

Med-Tower[]
The Med-Tower Air Support ability spawns Heal Station tower that resembles a Life Support Capsule. Interacting with it will release a pulse that restores 100 Health, and can be used 25 times.
The tower also acts as a physical obstruction and can be stood on top of.
Skins[]
Mantis Skins can be applied through the Equipment > Orbiter > Landing Craft > Livery option. These skins do not consume decoration capacity.

- Players can see Mantis landing crafts in the docking bays of relays.
